In this book Ellie has more to deal with than with the first book.
I like the people that work with Ellie.
This book to me was scarier than the first one.
I might be wrong but there might be more Ellie Jordan Ghost Trapper books—if so I am going to read all of them.
This is a great summer read. Nothing too deep but it is a page turner . Each book by this author is a seguay to the next, so don’t miss any of them.
Spine tingling second story. Quite a few moments that gave me a decent scare in my quiet house. Great character development, seeing inside Ellie, and Stacey’s world a bit more allows the reader to continue to establish a “relationship” to the characters. I liked the Paulding family more than the family in the first book, they seemed to gain my sympathies quicker. On to the next!
It’s time for Ellie to get back to ghost trapping. She’s got a nasty new case. Looks like it might be a poltergeist.
The family is experiencing loud noises, objects getting thrown around, toys playing by themselves.
There is a young lady in the house and that’s usually where a poltergeist comes from. All that teen angst. And she’s got a lot of it. But their younger son is experiencing some odd things too. Imaginary friends that are causing him to slowly withdraw from the family.
If it’s a poltergeist, it’s like nothing they’ve heard of before. Seems to be more powerful and have its own agenda.Things get more violent, and Ellie comes under attack. It’s time to trap this entity before some gets seriously hurt or dies.
Ellie’s new assistant Stacey, is coming along nicely. She may spend most of her time in their van outside, monitoring the cameras, but she’s ready at the drop of a hat to rush in when Ellie gets in trouble. Which she does when she tries to tackle whatever entity is attacking the family.
I like Stacey’s sense of humor. She’s always trying to put her own name to occurrences. And she never cuts Ellie any slack about her love life, or lack of.
Ellis is getting more confident as she gains experience. She’s a great researcher and not afraid to try a new angle when an entity defies capture.
There’s mention again of Ellie’s parents, teasers about how they died and by who or what’s hands. I hope we get that story somewhere in this series.
This was another gripping ghost tale and it had a gothic feel to it. I could see the house, scary even in the daylight. Feel the heavy, malevolent atmosphere inside. And I think I was more scared than Ellie when things got really violent.
The title for this series may have you thinking of the movie Ghostbusters. You might expect it to be all fun and filled with ecto spewing ghosts. There may be some of that, but these are darker, more developed hauntings, fraught with danger. Watch your step is what I say.
If you like ghost stories that make you jump at sudden noises, keep you looking at those shadows that move out of the corner of your eye, and sleep with the light on, I recommend you give this series a read. Keep a torch handy in case the electricity goes out.

Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper Series #2
By: J. L. Bryan
Narrated by: Carla Mercer-Meyer
Ellie continues with her scary adventures and it is just as good as book one! Love this series so far! Great ghost series! A family is plagued by ghosts and or a poltergeist. But what happens is beyond weird! So good!
The narration keeps the suspense up, great job!
Paranormal activity and ghost hunters on the job. Some side stories are developed in this series that I find irritating.
Excellent series. Love the lead character. She is both strong and vulnerable. Great for fans of old fashioned ghost stories.
